so, maybe i'm missing something, but draw_rectangle comes with 5 arguments - x, y, x2, y2, boolean.

now that's cool and everything, for basic ractangles, but i want mine to be tilted (angled, whatever) and so i have four vectors calculated (junctions of a rectangle) on the run and drawn on screen - like so:

(may not be processed just yet)

so, now i could go and just draw a lines from each junction to next one, but how could i, let's say fill that area? or - use angled collision rectangle?
is there any way i could save vector x and y in ONE variable and used as, let's say x1 in draw_rectangle method or it's something else?

some code i use:

step event of drawing object:


draw event:

Use the draw_primitive functions. Those allow you to define a serires of points and fill the polygon with colour or even textures.

yes, i've forgot about rectangle only filling space between two points, when I actually need 4.
tnx

Or the draw_triangle function, a much-overlooked yet useful function

As for collisions, a pair of collision_triangle calls would do the trick. What is collsion_triangle? Read here:

I'm biased so I like my solution, although it doesn't work exactly like the normal collision functions.

If you don't require pixel perfect precision, Yourself has a simple point-in-triangle script.

awesome stuff, i was later thinking of using triangles instead of rectangle.

thanks for the links!
